Review on Ginode Tailstock Woodworking Tapered Point丨60°MT2 by Luke Hodes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Dirty bearings are not good.

This hub is pretty wobbly and unusable due to bad bearings. I have only used the center a handful of times. When I applied lateral pressure to the tool, there was a howl and hesitation, causing spiral grooves to form in the wood. I reused the mug type platter that came with the lathe and the problem went away. In them I noticed the tumbling in this center. One or more loose bearings means this center is pretty much scrap. I guess it was the wrong item to try to save a few bucks. My guess is that this center only has one camp, not the two or three camps that the best brands have to have in order for their live centers to spin properly.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
